We are about to sepa- rate. Our relations have been friendly, al- though differing in matters of policy ; yet may we each attribute to the other hosesty of purpose though we have differed?

Mallet and Nimrod Wildfire To night, the ever-attractive comedy of “The Serious Family,” is to be performed, with Jefferson as the renowned Aminidab Sleek, Boniface as the rollicking Mark Mur- Ry Maguire, Adams as Charles Torrenr, 18. Jefferson as the captivating and coquett- ish widow, Miss Devlin as igh med but serious Mrs. Torrens, and Mrs. Boniface as the rebellious Emma. Much curiosity i: to see Jefferson in this character, and our pri- vate opinion is, that he will come out strong to-night. Mr. Jefferson also ‘‘ officiates’’ to- night as Jemmy Twitcher, in the Golden Farmer, in which part he will be apt to make folks laugh some. Altogether, a more effective draw upon the risibles can hardly be conceived, than the performance to-night is likely to afford. To-morrow night, Hackett as Falstaff. Excursion axp Pic Nic or Grace Caurcn (Istanp) Soxpar Schoo, —We learn that the Thomas Collyer has been chartered by the Grace Church Sunday School for an excur- sion down the river on the 4th of June, and that every pains has been, and will be, taken by those having the affair in hand to ensure the comfort, enjoyment, and safety of the little one3 and their friends. The worthy pastor of Grace church. the Rev. Mr. Holmead, in his announcement, last Sunday, of the excursion, engaged for himself and the teachers of the school to take the children upon the excursion under their especial personal care; conse- uently the parents and fricnds of the little Bike may feel every security in their being well cared for. A cordial invitation extend to schools of other denominations to partici- pate in the affair is, we learn, likely to be re- sponded to ina corresponding spirit of good feeling, and thus the excursion has the prom- iss, on all sides, of ample success and enjoy- ment. The excursion is for the benefit of the Library of Grace Church Sunday School, and this fact alone should ensure it the fullest support and encouragement. Second Warp Anti-Know Notnine Merrt- ing —At a meeting of the Anti-Know Noth- ings of the Second Ward, held on Tuesday evening, ns Har to public notice, in the house of Mr. Clements, corner of L and Twelfth etreets, the following resolution, of- fered by Mr. J. F. Haliday, was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the act of Mr. F. Jefferson, one of our representatives, in exposing the corruptions of the Know Nothing City Coun- cils in sustaining a member of their Board in accepting and retaming an office of profit un- der the Corporation in defiance of the laws, for which exposure Mr. Jefferson has been honored with a vote of censure from the co- horis of Kuow Nothingism and corruption, meets with our warmest approval and com- as he had been acollar_man; and because the Administration did not allow him to wear collar again, he went over to the Know Five members of the Know Nothing side stated that they voted for Mr Coltman, and regretted he was not elected. Dr. Miller then called the attention of the meeting to the fact that there were but eleven ballots in the box for Mr Coltman, that ten of his side voted for him, and consequently only one of the five could have voted for Mr. Coltman; there were the ballots and the figures and they could not lie. Mr. Bayly to test their sincerity, moved to take the ballot over; the motion was lost by atie vote. Messrs Fisher and Jefferson had left in disgust previous to the vote, and the Know Nothings took oceasion to say that the loss of taking over the ballot was owing to their absence. Mr. Hous- ton made a motion afterwards to reconsider the vote. Mr. Jefferson had then returned, and on that vote Messrs. Walker, Ruff, Mc- Cutchen and Venable voted the other way: making the miserable excuse that they feared a reconsideration might vitiate the election, an absurdity so palpable that it excited a laugh Thus ended a struggle which exhibdit- ed the true principles of Know Nothingism, and their duplicity and meanness I trust the good citizens of Washington will on Mon: day next take out of the hands of this oath- bound party the government of our city. May 27, 1856. A Looxer On. [ADVERTISEMENT, To tne Puntic.—I have been charged with interrupting Hon. T. B Florence while speak- ing at Copp’s Saloon, on Friday, the —th inst As I desire the good opinion and respect of my fellow citizens of alt parties, I feel it my duty to deny the charge. Bolieving, as I do, in the constitutional right of citizens to as- semble and discuss questions which interest them, and claiming to be the personal friend of Mr. Florence, I could not be guilty, without a violation of both. Were the charge of a political character, I should take no notice of it; but it being personal, itis my duty to deny it, and annex the following in proof of my statement. Were I not a candidate for office (Common Council, Third Ward) pains would not be taken to circulate this report. Respectfully, Jxo. H.G@. McCurcuex. I_was sitting within one seat of Mr. McCutchen at the tire of the interruption of Mr. Flozence, and can positively state he was not the person who interrupted him. It James F.

The meeting then adjourned till Friday evening, same place. Pwatic Scuoons --The annual report of the Trustees of the Public Schools of this city for the year ending October, 1855, just published, shows the schuols to be in a healthy condition, but recommends various improvements which, for the most part, strikes us as judicious; es- pecially so do we conccive to be the recommer- dation of the introductien of vocal music as a branch of etudy in the public schools. The inconvenience and inadequacy of our school- Toom accommodations is dwelt upon, and the need of a reform in this particular is urged in a manner which should bring conviction and ensure a‘remedy for prevailing defects. Paixrun Accipest.—Thos C. Donn, Esq , was painfully injured yesterday, while re moving some bricks from an old chimney in the rear of his office. While lifting some of the lower brick a portion of the upper work felland caught his band, severely bruising and crushing his fingers. He stepped back to his office, and the next moment faint- ed and fell with his face on the pavement, cutting and bruising his face. He was taken care of by a number of gentlemen who were near at the time, and soon recovered sufficient- ly to walk to his residence. Twoor raz Cases.—Yesterday, Jno. Keefe, orange dealer, charged W. Mesdiey with the larceny of two oranges valued at five cents; and slso with an assault on him at the Union office, by turning the hose attached to the en- gine at thatoffice upon him thereby satura- ting his clothing with water. Justice Smith dismissed the larceny case, but held Meadley to security for peace in the assault case. Save or Governuent Lots.—The ale of Government lots was commenced yesterday afternoon at MeGuire’s auction rooms, and will be resumed this afternoon, May 28, at 54 o'clock. All of the lots advertised after 1,111 remain to be sold. Those wishing to buy Government lots should bear iu mind that this isthe last opportunity, as there is no more Government land in the city to be sold. Entry Taieves.—Last night, fovr colored boys entered the residence of Capt. P Barton Key, and stole a number of hats, umbrellas, &c., belonging to various gentlemen who were there One of the boys, Richard Cole, was caught in the act by a gentleman, nnd taken to the guard-house. Dhree others, Lom. Har- ris, Lloyd Brooks. and Tilly Harris, were ar- rested by Officer Piowman. Is Jait.—Anthony Bias who was confined in jail previously, was tried this morning on a charge of assault and threats, and he wae fully committed. He was also accused of open profanity, a breach of the municipal law, and was ordered to pay a fine and costs. Thetrial was befere Justice Morsell.

When the election for the Second Ward Judges came up, Mr. Fisher of that Ward announced that they had selected Messrs Bartlett and Colt- man. The Rev. Mr. Evans immediately got up and said he had the ticket, and in a sneer- ing way announsed Michael Talty and James Dajey, both Catholics and Irishmen, for the anti Know Nothing judges. This was done, not only as an insult to those gentlemen, their religion and country, but as spite to the Sec- ond Ward members. When the ballot was stated by the chairman, it was found that Messrs. Talty and Daley were elected. Mr. Bayly rose and denounced the flliberal course of the Know Nothings in pretty severe terms, and quite a discussion took place. Mr. Towles. the member from the Third Ward, in his usual dignified manner, stated that he voted against Mr. Bartlett because he was an office holder, Were the collar, and had to do his master’s bidding. Mr. Puller immediately sprung uy and ald that he was an office holder, and the member from the Third Ward sid he had Inhalation, and the success that has attended their labors issufficiently well known. It has demonstrated not only that Bronchitis, Asth- ma, @>tarrh and Granular Sore Throat may be permanently cured, but that Consumption in sll its stages isacurable disease, and that the direct application of remedies, by means of inhalation, the seatof the malady, instead of giving them by the stomach, (always over- taxed and delicate in these diseases.) must here after be regarded by the profession as the only rational and scientific mode of treatment. Parties unable to visit the city may be treat ed by correspondence—medicines, inhaling instruments, &c , being sent to them by ex- press. In order to obtain a proper statement ef such cases, a form of questions has been prepared, which will be forwarded by letter.
